Bath chip & crack repair in Cooksland, Cornwall
Damaged bath in Cooksland? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A chip where the taps sit
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Have new chips seen to early
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
How we handle bath repair in Cooksland
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips along the edge of the bath and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repair or replace in Cooksland?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Common questions in Cooksland
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Cooksland, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
When to call us in Cooksland
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A chipped rim or side
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- What preparation is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
